What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

We chose the name deadline as it not only refers to the prompt work that us as a group do but it is also original and we feel, is a suitable production name for our film. It fits with the efficient and structured life of an assassin. However, I felt that the title sting we created was rather cheesy due to the glowing colours and strange font styles. If I were to change it, I would have the text at a straighter angle; with a simple white on black. This would have stood out even better, and therefore had a better impact on the viewer. All big film companies have a name that is recognisable around the world and also a moving image and sound to fit with it. Take for example Universal, paramount pictures or 20^th century fox all recognised round the world. A production company is the company who take the film idea and fund, plan and complete the making of the film right the way through to its eventual distribution. A distributor could be someone like Universal who will sell the film and the rights to show the film to cinemas all round the world. The money for a film of our level could come from the makers own pocket if it was very amateur or for other films of our genre funding could come from film companies and big Hollywood companies like universal who would be looking to make a profit and may only invest in products that are going to make one, so the safe genres that are tried and tested and have a good audience. A film distributor is an independent company, which acts as the final agent between a film production company, and a film exhibitor, to end of securing placement of the producer's film on the exhibitor’s screen. Possible distributors for our film may be television channels such as channel itv and itv2, this is because both channels distribute a lot of assassin types of films and because our film comes under this genre the distribution of our film into these programs would maximize viewings and popularity of our film which would increase the overall profit of our film. We would also distribute our film via media such as DVD’s which we would sell in DVD and video stores such as HMV for home viewing for our audience. This is where marketing would be a great help as it would spread the awareness of our film and make people want to see it.
